O'Clock to-day.
large delegation of students left for New

The members of the Yale team fully ap-
preciate the fact that Princeton will leave no
stone unturned by which she may defeat
Yale. Princeton now holds the champion
ship, and should she defeat Yale and then
Yale in turn defeat Harvard she could hold
the championship under the rule regarding
ties, unless it was decided to play the tie Off
Yale students seemed to have good deal
of faith in Princeton when the latter met
Harvard, for they sent considerable money
to Boston to back the Princetons. If the
Yale team win to-day they have got to do
some good work. There is scarcely student
outside of the members of the team who does
not feel thatYale will be winner in to-day's
game Captain Beecher has not SO much
faith as most of the students, for he says:
ST think that the game with Princeton on
Saturday will be one of the closest which
Yale has ever played. We are going to have
all we can do to beat Princeton. Our team
is good one, but I do not consider it any
thing like as good as the 'S4 team. We are
weak in several ways, but of course do not
care to say anything about that. By Satur-
day we hope to have improved some of our
worst faults"
He also thinks that both the Harvard and
Princeton teams are equally formidable ri
walls, and he says that just much is to be
feared from one by Yale as the other. The
Some Yale men feel so confident of victory
o. " that they conjecture that the final
scCfe will be % to in Yale's favor. The
more conservative, however, consider the
fact that Harvard's last goal was made very
near the end of the game with Princeton, and
at time when she had given up all hone of
winning, and they place the score at from 6
or 10 to nothing, or in this ratio. The only
fear Yale men have is that there will be no
Princeton money on the field. Beecher, the
quarter back, has entirely recovered from the
sprained ankle which he received while prac-
Using two weeks ago, and will be ready with
all of his old and several new tricks with
which to worry Princeton. Yale's weakest
point is undoubtedly in her half backs.
Football games for to-day are announced
as follows: Princeton VS.. Yale at New York,
University of Pennsylvania VS.. Harvard at
Cambridge, Institute of Technology VS..
Stevens at Hoboken, Trinity VS.. Dartmouth
at Hanover, and Exeter VS.. Andover at AM
